Jerry's Records made me fall in love with my record player. I couldn't have asked for a better…read morestore to help me build my collection. I can always find something I'm interested in for $10 or less. Jerry's is a third place to me. It's a must visit every time I'm back in Pittsburgh! Jerry's is estimated to have over 500,000 records. Here's what I've learned from my two years in Pittsburgh to help sort through the collection: 1. Best sellers are located upfront. Normally there's a few of each artist: The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rush, Aerosmith, and many more. Price range between $20-60 2. For people starting out, Jerry's has a lot of well known albums and artists for $7-8 a record. Common finds: Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Santana, REO Speedwagon, Jefferson Starship/Jefferson Airplane, Elton John, STYX, and Chicago. 3. Huge Christmas selection in the $3-20 range. They likely have what you're looking for. My boyfriend's mom was looking for Christmas with Mitch for many years. She found 8 copies at Jerry's Records in less than 15 minutes. 4. There's a large Broadway and musical soundtrack section tucked in the corner down the first hallway on the right. Normally they are about $5-15. 5. Before checking out, look at the record and sleeve for damages. From experience, most priced above $7 play really well. They may have a few crackles, but a quick wash takes most of that away. Things in the $3 range are risky.

Excellent selection and friendly knowledgeable staff. Could be a dangerous place without a spending…read morelimit!!!

My girlfriend was charged $40 for 4 Shirley temples because apparently they didn't have a button on…read morethe kiosk to ring up shirley temples, they could only charge for $10 drinks. That's unacceptable and she was most likely given a $7 value of grenadine at best. I'm sure if they needed to they could have created a custom item and set the pricing but this business instead decided to prey and take advantage on someone who was too Kind to disagree and refuse the order. Shame!

A record store, a bar, and a coffee shop under one roof! What more could you want?! I got into…read morevinyls a few months back and luckily for me I found The Government Center! I've become somewhat of a frequent flyer, trying to make it weekly. When I do I have a routine and have found some absolute classics for an unbelievable value. The staff and service is great whether I'm in the record store or in the bar the staff is always friendly and helpful. Sometimes just end up talking with the staff long after I checked out. I've gotten some great hauls at great prices. I've left there with 7 albums for $76, also have spent $50 on 1 album. The actual number of albums in the store isn't as large as some other places in the city, with that being said it's a good thing because the store isn't filled with vinyls no one wants. Quality over quantity never matters here. Which makes going through the selection so much less overwhelming than some places I've been, especially if you're newer in the vinyl world. I've been to almost every record store in Allegheny County. The Government Center is definitely in my Top 3, and it's not 2 or 3. S/O Walter and Baby I forgot to mention in my original review. Aforementioned the record store is attached to a bar. To be able to drink a few beers while you look at records, the vibes here are immaculate.

Four levels - yep, FOUR - of nostalgia!! Such a terrific collection of games, books, tapes, CD's,…read morefigurines, posters, comics, vinyl, collectibles, etc. you would be hard pressed not to find something that doesn't make you go, "I remember this!" Each level has different elements. There's stairs, as well as an elevator to access all levels. Prices seem reasonable for the things that they offer. Everything is well kept and in protective sleeves, etc to preserve it from getting worn. Every employee was pleasant and friendly. Not sure about parking as we walked. But, it's super close to the Heinz History Center so could easily walk from there. Well worth a visit!!

Eide's truly is a store with something for everyone! From comics to records, even toys and antiques…read morethere is a huge selection of items here to look at! There are multiple floors at Eide's and you can take the stairs but there is an elevator. Their floors are organized by the type of item they sell on that floor. For example, one floor is records, another is comics, toys, and action figures, so it's pretty simple to find the right direction if you're looking for something specific. The staff is also very kind and helpful. During my most recent trip I was browsing the first floor and found one of my favorite books from my childhood! It was only $5 and I couldn't pass it up. You just never know what you'll find here, but I can guarantee if you look hard enough you'll find some gems!

Just tell security you are going to the record store and they let you in. It's upstairs when you enter on the side. Nice, large selection of new titles and flows from the front and into rooms that also contain shirts, 45lps and CDs. As you work thru, the used album wind around and sections are labeled nicely. Prices are slightly higher compared to other records stores in Western PA and eastern Ohio. If I'm looking for a specific title, this store would not be my first choice but would be an option if having trouble finding a unique title. I would go back but it would not be a planned trip, etc. As of 2/25/26, You may find slightly better deals at Jerry's in Squirrel Hill, Preserving Vinyl in New Kensington, Geos in Youngstown OH, Music To My Ear off Babcock Blvd or Inner Groove in Monaca. (eBay or Discogs online also)

It's music to my ears because this record store is the absolute best of the best!…read more It's paradise for vinyl lovers. Whether you're a new collector or lifelong, they have what you need. Hard-to-find, rare, classic pressings as well as newer recordings. I could spend hours just looking at all of the albums and learning more about music that I love as well as bands and singers I don't know tons about. This is really just a fun shop that carries so much history, art and joy in the form of vinyl. Even if you're a modest collector you have to give yourself the pleasure of enjoying all that Get Hip has to offer.

Very nice selection of items and things crammed in quite tight…read more MAIN ISSUE IS IT WAS 90° inside that place and only 70 outside. We weren't greeted at all- or acknowledged so for a place that was voted PGH best record store- not sure. Wasn't able to buy anything mainly bc my ability to stay and look was shortened in the hopes of getting air and quickly.

I returned to the store this evening to try and sell the rest of the figurines and entertainment…read moremerchandise from my personal collection I have been building over the years. We went to the store a few days ago and felt that the young lady was fair in the offer she gave us for the few items we brought in to sell. As a result, we thought it was safe to bring the rest of my collection all at once tonight. Unfortunately, my husband and I truly feel like a fast one was played on us. We brought well over 50 items into the store. After waiting approximately 45 minutes for the three associates to look over the items, the young man called us to the counter to let us know that they were only interested in purchasing quote, unquote just a few things. He pointed to a bag sitting behind the counter that was stuffed to the top with my collectibles and said that they were not interested in hardly any of the action figures or collectible figurines. He then pointed over to a shelf which only appeared to have 12 items tops and said these are the few things that we are interested in purchasing. His offer was $20 store credit or $16 cash. Thinking it was only if you items I took the offer and brought my throne about collection back to my car. I just got back to my house and realized that I was never given a receipt showing what exactly they bought in the price they gave me for each item. On top of that, when I went through my collection that was hardly stuffed in the bag I found it was more like 25 to 30 items most of which were my action figures and collectible figurines. Needless to say I am not happy in the least. I have been searching online and all through the website looking for a contact form or an email. I would really like to formally document my complaint and dissatisfaction. Oh well... I guess I am going to just have to personally go into the store tomorrow to the bottom of this. I'll be sure to keep you posted on how the situation develops and the resolution presented... If any Grrrrrr
